Came here for a late lunch, around 2pm. Ordered cabinet food as we werent too hungry. The place was quite packed, with only 2 FOH staff working, the wait for drinks was a bit long. B grabbed a $1 muffin and hot drink combo, his large (VERY large) latte came within 5minutes of sitting down, the presentation with the latte art wasnt all that smart, whether the walk over destroyed it (we were right next to the espresso machine + good steamed milk should hold its design) or if there was no effort put in it in the first place. Anywho… I ordered corn fritters and a medium mocha. My corn fritters took a little longer than 5 minutes and once arrived tasted like they were microwaved, as they were soggy. Nonetheless I ate them avoiding the salad as it looked very sad and not so fresh but thought I should give it a try for an honest review when I found quite a large, lifeless moth face up on my plate. Shocked, I discretely took it back to staff as I didnt want to cause a scene. Instantly was greeted with sorry Ill get you a new one as my plate was rushed off with no offer of a refund or explanation. As I was waiting for my replacement, my coffee EVENTUALLY arrived. Checked it for moths, it was fine. My replacement came out piping hot, the texture suggested it had been cooked fresh this time, yay! if only it had been this quality the first time. I do appreciate the replacement just wish the steps taken in handling the situation were more thorough and understanding.
Ordered a medium hot chocolate with marshmallows. The hot chocolate wasnt too sweet. It came with two marshmallows and the froth was very chocolatey.
Very bad service and worst coffee ever. Though they seems like having regular customers go there everyday, they still need to be friendly to new customers. Cheap thing is just the way cheap thing is. I wont buy anything for their free muffin. Never go back again.
The smoothies were yummy, but I find the food is slightly below average, from what I’ve tried. The pie was dry and I couldn’t finish mine and my mum’s roll looked full from the cabinet, but when she got it, it was empty at the back and coated in mayonnaise. Would recommend for the smoothies, just not the food. I am rating it 3 because of the smoothies alone.
Meals came out within ten minutes and figured that something off our plates was missing which was 4 eggs, off both plates. Then I alerted one of the staff and they still didn’t understand so had to wait for our eggs to come out with the excuse of they broke the first time which was strange because if i hadn’t have said anything I don’t think I would have gotten any, the food was very mediocre and would have appreciated a little bit more cleanliness cutlery and white ware wise. Not impressed but it filled me up leaving me feeling gluggy and gross I won’t be back anytime soon.
Some of the previous reviewers must be minging. This place serves the best, and freshest paninis, salads and damn good short-order too. I have eaten my way through the panini range and can find nothing wrong: fresh, crisp panini, fresh, perfectly-cookedingredients, the right sauce, a nice crunch. Egg and bacon – perfectly-poached eggs (go find those, you mingers), crisp bacon, perfect toast. For a chain-store restaurant that is obviously busy, these guys have a cook who is proud of his work. I recommend this place, beats the other, absolutely minging takeaways in Westfields. Do try it.
Hollywood is never known for its amazing food or above average service but you always hope don’t ya? Hollywood Westcity kept consistent though. Good service was void, messy tables and no smiles a common partnership. I DID see a nice girl with a bob haircut behind the counter after I’d been served who was smiling at customers though, straight to manager for her! The same manager for this place owns the Koffee Bar down stairs outside ASB bank in the mall, also no service so obviously not a priority from management. Food is way overpriced and super average quality. If it was cheaper, I’d increase rating, cos when a mummy of two little ones hasnt eaten and it’s 3pm, average and cheap is ayeeeee.ok. Would go here if I was desperate, which I was today but otherwise, nope.
